KTM Adventure 890R is better in most areas

Apart from looks, plus it’s pretty full on. I preferred my G650X to the 690 even though the KTM is acknowledged as better all round

Norden is better looking than 890R

Well, apart from this lot obviously.

KTM 890 Duke R Problems​

The common problems are coolant leaks, oil leaks, overheating, gasket leaks, chain failures, ABS malfunctioning, brake lamp dimming, false traction errors, suspension issues, minor downshifting issues, compromised comfort on the stock seat, and failure of its various parts or components.

So no reason to think they would have common issues then?

Well seeing as most of that bollox you posted is not engine related then no reason at all .

Amazing as it may be . The Duke and Adventure don’t share the same seat, suspension, chain etc .

But don’t let that stop you posting the

“KTMs are unreliable “ bullshit .

Anyway , I think the F900 looks pretty good . Let’s hope it’s not recalled before owners can collect them , as they did with the 1300

Looks superb ! Only thing that I dont like is those downpipes hanging out. Put in how I would want it exc luggage and its 15.2k which is alot for what it is I think compared to other offerings

Thanks, I won't. From my own personal experience that is precisely what they are. I'm not holding BMW up as a paragon here as I'm well aware of their issues. Although again, personally mine have never let me down.
Luck of the draw maybe.

BM have history with end cans on the 800 cc twins. Look at the cigar shaped monstrosity on the f650/800’s. When I fitted my Leo Vince carbon to my f650/700 it save about 4 kgs and at least 2 inches in diameter

Looks quite nice in Black/Msport colours.
